Franklin Gutierrez

Franklin Gutierrez could also be on his way out of Seattle this offseason.

With the Seattle Mariners being one of the teams that needs free agent Michael Bourn, and possibly willing to pay the price to get him, there won't be as much of a need for Gutierrez in center field.

Should Seattle manage to sign the 30-year-old speedster, they'll also probably look to get rid of Gutierrez's $7 million salary in 2013 and also rid themselves of the $500,000 buyout that they would have to pay if they elected not to exercise his option in 2014.
